Proposed work

Open questions raised

  1. [critical] q-jehovah-as-angel-and-ot-revelation.md — If Jehovah was an angel in the OT (CSG 2.1, 124-202), what is the authority and status of OT prophetic words attributed to God? Triggered by csg-jehovah-was-an-angel-not-god.

  2. [interesting] q-adopted-vs-direct-lineage-what-changes-at-blessing.md — Is the Blessing’s lineage change immediate or generational? SMM’s “three generations” language (CSG 4.1, 146-275) suggests actualization spans generations. Triggered by csg-lineage-change-required-for-direct-sonship.

  3. [interesting] The chapter frames “justification through attendance” (CTA) as a qualitatively new form of salvation superseding justification by faith (NT). This creates potential tension with Protestant soteriology beyond the standard grace/works debate — worth a thread eventually. Triggered by csg-three-ages-three-methods-of-return.

Proposed threads

No tag cluster has reached 5+ atomics on a single theme without an existing thread yet. Closest candidate: restoration + providence tags now have significant mass across Ch01–Ch03 batches. Suggest monitoring — if 2–3 more atomics land on the servant/adopted/direct-son progression, a thread on “The Mandatory Structure of Restoration” would be warranted.

Stale wrestling

None — no threads yet in vault on these themes.
